Lake Tahoe/ wet plate collodion

 Here are my first Wet Plate photos from Lake Tahoe. It is so beautiful up here I did know where to start shooting. I had a few problems with this shoot I guess im a little rusty.  I plan on shooting in lake Tahoe for most of the summer and fall. I have some new projects im starting I can’t wait to show everybody but for now I have to keep out the kinks.

Polaroid San Francisco #2

I love this city.

Polaroid San Francisco

I shot these while on a quick trip to San Francisco. It has been a while since I use my Polaroid camera it got broken while on a trip to Canada. One of my good friends ran it over with a snowboard on accident. I was so happy to have her in my hands again.

Polariod's Lake Tahoe Snowmobiling

I recently took at trip to lake Tahoe and went out snowmobiling with my friends. Pat Moore, Jake Welch, Daniel Ek and Nico Cioffi. It was so cold that the Polaroid’s started doing strange things. I was stoked on how the came out but my hands didn’t like it. Haha. It was a fun trip wit good friends.

Polariod Quebec Night Shots

 In the past four out of five years I have had to work on my birthday. This year was one of those years. I was in Quebec Canada and we were scheduled for a night shoot then it started raining. It was like Mother Nature wanted me to have the night off. I really wanted to walk around and see the city so I set out in the rain. Walking in the rain at night with my camera in hand was one of the Best birthdays ever. I don’t like all the build up the birthdays and holidays have. It's nice when things just happen.
